Black-fronted Tyrannulet (Phylloscartes nigrifrons)
About the Black-fronted Tyrannulet
The black-fronted tyrannulet (Phylloscartes nigrifrons) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. The black-fronted tyrannulet was originally described in 1884 as Leptopogon nigrifrons. It was later transferred to genus Mecocerculus and then to its present genus Phylloscartes. Though relationships among members of Phylloscartes have not been fully resolved, it appears that the black-fronted tyrannulet's closest relatives are the rufous-lored tyrannulet (P. flaviventris) and the cinnamon-faced tyrannulet (P. parkeri). The black-fronted tyrannulet is monotypic.
